If you are old enought to remember this show, you now make noises when you sit down. As a ten year old, this was the coolest truck on TV, the trailer would split open from the top and there was a helicopter hidden inside.

Damn, I missed that show but for some reason this makes me think of a live action version of the cartoon M.A.S.K.
Damn, proper blast from the past. Had completely forgotten about the M..A.S.K toys I had when I was 3 or 4 until I read your comment, just looked them up on wiki.
Our parents could only remember their toys (unless somehow kept some), cool that we can just look it up online and see a full size image.
I bought M.A.S.K. on streaming to share it with my kids. It did not live up to my memories.
Not many shows or movies do. Rare exceptions for me are Dark Crystal and Labyrinth.
Sadly, most 80s cartoons sucked, but the toys were, and are still, outstanding. That's probably why we attach such good memories to watching the show along with our buddies Sly Rax and Hondo McLean.
The shows were just 30 minute adverts for the toys. Some of my greatest playtime as a kid was when Cobra Commander teamed up with Darth Vader but was eventually defeated by G.I. Joes and R2D2.
